Just learn the thing that no one wants to learn. It doesn't need to be difficult to learn, it just needs to be the thing that no one wants to learn.

I had a job that felt like this sometimes, as a contractor for a federal gov’t agency, and I hated it. Be careful what you wish for…

I worked in a system development area years ago. It was an annual income tax system. The designers designed for about half a year; the build people made the code over an overlapping half a year; test tested the code over about half a year.

Whatever you did, you worked half a year, and were idle half a year

This was after the internet, but before we had internet to the desk. It was before smart phones, before cell phones

It was terrible.
